KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Tartu
- Tartu boasts numerous iconic landmarks and hidden gems, and you are better off exploring these destinations with Tartu car hire. Tartu has public transport, but it gets crowded and noisy, and you might take a while to reach your destination. Besides, public transport operates on fixed schedules. Using car hire in Tartu takes you across the city and nearby locations quickly and hassle-free. You can drive to Rakvere Castle, Narva Castle, Pärnu Beach, and Soomaa National Park. If you plan an extended stay at Tartu, you won't spend as much on car hire than the cumulative commuter fares.
- If you are flying into Tartu, you will land at either Tallinn Ulemiste Airport (TLL) or Tartu Airport (TAY). If you arrive at TLL, you will find on-site car hire desks at the Arrivals hall at the Public Transport terminal. Car hire companies operating on-site desks at TLL include NU Car, Avis, Hertz, Right Cars, Budget, Sixt, and Budget. When you land at TYA, beware that there are no car hire companies operating desks on-site. However, Sunnycars, liigu, Europcar, Keddy, and Avis have off-site car hire desks, and will arrange for pick-up at the airport.
- As a small city in Estonia, finding tiny streets and narrow roads in Tartu are unsurprising. However, driving car hire in Tartu should be manageable, although you should consider certain things that might impact your driving experience. For example, jaywalking is a concern in the city, as pedestrians often overlook crossings regulations. Commuter bus drivers are typically impatient, and sound horns immediately signal shifts. They may stop abruptly in the middle of the road when they sight potential passengers. Drive carefully, especially when approaching or passing them.
- With so many tiny streets and narrow roads, traffic congestion is unsurprising, especially during peak travel hours. Typically, weekday rush hours start from 07:00 to 09:00, and the evening rush hours begin from 16:00 to 19:00. Tartu experiences heavy traffic because several residents access the city with private vehicles. Besides, one road leads to the city, and it is occasioned by vehicles and motorbikes struggling for position. Plan your route well to avoid traffic delays when driving your car hire in Tartu.
- Book your rental car in Tartu at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
